SERBIA // FAVORITE FINDS

I want to do some posts on my favorite places and spaces and I will start with probably my 
favorite find we were introduced to. 

SUPERMARKET CONCEPT STORE

Store

SUPERMARKET CONCEPT STORE

This was by far one of my favorite places we went to. It is all of my favorite things rolled into one. A retail space, bar, restaurant, and spa. Need I say more? It was heaven. The design of the store itself was stunning. The environment is very raw and unfinished so the merchandise stood out on recycled wooden units. I had to add the Pantone glass Christmas balls for all the designers out there.

BRANDING INSPIRATION

A little branding inspiration for us all. Makes me miss the Olympics! I can't imagine getting to work on a project as immense as something like branding the Rio 2016 Olympics! When they say "it will be the most looked at the logo in the world for a period of time..." it reminds me that a branding system for the Olympics need to  register with the world not just a specific group of people for a certain one product. 

TOP FIVE

1. Visiting the Rosedale community in KCK
2. Figuring out what I want to rebrand/create while sitting at Starbucks.
3. My seminar class, Art in the Sixties, and convincing myself a 15 page paper is totally possible.
4. Having a best friend over and sitting on my balcony just because.
5. Eating a good dinner made at home. 

Most inspiring find for today.

BLOGSHOP

Just wanted to post this really quick. A little blogging info and love for us all.

A BEAUTIFUL CREATION, BY DIANE

I would definitely say that this purse is an extra blog post worthy. This Harper Connect Leather Bag, by Diane von Furstenberg, made me think about technology in a way that I often look over. As designers we all have products that are tailored to our gadgets, but I never really thought about the other side. I am always thinking about industrial design in some way shape or form but not really on the fashion side of it... surprising enough. I usually see something and think, that's cool... but this bag just caught my eye. It is fashion forward, and something that I can see sticking around. Made so that the user doesn't even have to remove the iPad from the bag... just unsnap and flap. It seems so smart to me.

It's Been Too Long...

So I make it my personal goal to blog. For school of course, but just to blog for myself as well. I have failed to do that this break! I have many things I want to post and things I need to share, but have put it off.
Something that I want to share today from my favorite blogger was her post about using pin boards for her design clients, just like creating a mood board. This allows both parties to view inspiration and be on the same page for color, texture, etc. I think this is so very very smart! Pinterest has opened a new window for sharing information in the digital world.

until next time, which I hope is soon!

WALMART'S WEIGHT

A great info-graph on the impact of Walmart. 

EAT & MOVE

description from their vimeo site- 
3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage... all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ....into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films.....
  
-I hope to be able to do this someday! What a wonderful way to capture these experiences.

F+S: ABSTRACT PACKAGING

-Discovered these abstract package design here.
I found this interesting just because it proves the impact that branding has on a culture 
when we are able to recognize it by simple dots and colors.

ZIBA

I just came across this website which features designer's (creative directors to industrial/communications/interaction designers) and their experiences with the consumer for different products and creative experiences. 
That one sentence description does not do it justice so-
CHECK IT OUT. 

THINGS TO COME

I would love to have the time and money to attend this! WOW!  What an amazing experience. (There is a class happening in PARIS, I think it's meant to be-- that is at some point in time.) So many things to come! School is starting next week!  I go back and forth with the idea of school but learning, the comradery, creating, and staying is busy is something I NEED/MUST have! My school opens my eyes to so many possibilities. It's a beautiful thing.
Can't wait!

B H L D N

 So I don't quite know why but I have this love for all things wedding. It's not that I have any intention of getting married anytime soon, but who doesn't love all things beautiful and whimsical?  BHLDN came out a couple months ago. It's a wedding dress, accessories, and decor website for all things wedding. Produced(do not know if that is the correct term to use) by Anthropologie which could a good reason as to why I enjoy it so much. I do love going on the website for inspiration and not just to look at the shoes and dresses but the design of the website is so creative and fresh. The layouts and the typography and how they incorporate the personality of their brand and the merchandise are wonderful. The interactive design,  photography, color, and the small details make it successful to me.  I just wanted to share where I get distracted on some of my days.  I think I like it so much because you don't need to be a bride or bridesmaid to enjoy their site!
